He held my hand until I was comfortable to swim across the coral reef by myself and saw the most beautiful and colorful fish! The highlight of the trip were the dolphins that greeted us in the spot he predicted! A whole family jumping, twisting and waving their fins! This is a memory I will savor for the rest of my life! I highly recommend!”
